I put 100 hours into Fallout 3, about 20 in New Vegas, and couldn't possibly be more burned out on the formula. That's a lot of time to put in, so i'll give them credit, but I think ultimately they are a monument to quantity over quality. There is just so much in those games, but it's all janky. Dumb writing, abysmal animations, characters look like melted action figures, worst shooting mechanics of any fps I've played, everywhere you go there are 8 million items, the majority of which are useless pencils and toy race cars, wooden voice acting, unbalanced rpg mechanics. Ugh. I did get to steal the decleration of independence and trade it for a cigarette, though, so I guess that's something.
